History of PMC Ammo

The Poongsan Corporation of South Korea was established in 1968, and is known for working nonferrous metals including copper, titanium and others. In 1973, the Angang ammo plant was established as Precision Made Cartridges (PMC) to provide South Korea with all their own ammo needs. But business was so good, that production overruns bearing the PMC name were soon being sold on the open market. Proud to manufacture nearly all components for making ammunition, PMC uses this approach to establish standards and maintain strict quality control through the entire process.

When consumers buy ammo from PMC today, it's no longer just surplus ammunition. The product line, as well as the selection of calibers they offer, has expanded to address many diverse shooting needs in addition to the South Korean military. PMC produces more than just 5.56 ammo and 9mm cartridges to include manufacturing non-military calibers like .44 Magnum. Full metal jacket bullets are the standard for military ammunition around the globe, and PMC produces some of the best there is. Their product line, however, also includes ammo for hunters, competitive shooters, and people who want ammo for self defense and personal protection.

PMC makes X-TAC MATCH ammunition, with bullets made by Sierra and their own components, to offer benchrest and long-distance competitive shooters a world-class competition round. For shooters who need a good round for practicing, the PMC Bronze line is an economical choice that does not sacrifice quality. They also offer High Velocity Magnum Hunting Loads that shotgunners will appreciate, plated with copper and carried in cups designed to deliver dense patterns with uniformity for maximum performance. Their Starfire handgun hunting ammunition also works for self defense due to the rapidly expanding hollow point design.

PMC sells a wide variety of high-quality competition, hunting and personal protection ammunition. They have earned a good reputation for quality and affordability, and will likely continue to be a significant presence in the ammunition market for many years.

"I shot 25 rounds out of Springfield XDM w/5.25" bbl and 25rds out of Ruger LC9. They shot flawlessly in both guns. The ammo was delivered to my front door in just a few days.(Faster than I expected.) I'm happy with my purchase."

Shooter magavin said:

"Have bought this ammo a couple of time and could not be happier"

ammosmurff said:

"I've shot PMC ammo for years on the range, for .223, .45acp & 9mm, never had a misfire or failure to feed on any of my guns. Korean ammo is the only foreign ammo I'll buy!"

J A said:

"I have not shot any of this ammo as of yet because it is down the line in my rotation. But I was comfortable purchasing PMC ammo as I've never had any bad ammo from the company. The price was right at the time so it was a good buy for me. I look forward to purchasing ammo from your site again, thank you..."

Dave said:

"Very good ammo for the money! Reliable and accurate. Can't ask for anything more than that. "

dkmatthews said:

"There's no doubting the quality of PMC Bronze. It's super reliable in every firearm. Thanks for a good deal on the case of ammo."

"Ordering was easy shipping was fast. My wife and I have used around 500 rounds so far without a problem. "

Bob S said:

"I bought this ammo because of the price and quality of it. Remington has great products and I've used them for years. I tried it in my Ruger LCP 380 with no problems to speak of. I'll be sure to remember this order and do it again."

Robert said:

"I use this at the range and have had no problems and great scores."

Steve said:

"Ran 100 of these though my Bersa Thunder, not one problem.....very clean....good price."

Bob S said:

"I do a lot of shooting and this you can't beat. Cleanup was a snap. PMC is great range gear."

"Shoot at least twice a month.My Sig 1911enjoys this ammo. And my recently acquired used H-K USP 45c likes it better than Winchester"

Jim said:

"Thanks for the quick service. This ammo ran flawlessly thru my 1911 gold cup and my grandson's glock. We both fired over 600 rounds each during the handgun course we attended."

"great service"

Bobt said:

"I yet to shoot the ammo I purchased ,I am being very conservative on range time, watching the current market and trying to get a better understanding on what is unfolding before us.God be with you ,I preach the 3 G's..God,Guns and Gold..MOLON LABE...
P.S gave ratings for the fact that you are from the great state of Georgia and the soul of America..the South has my heart"

"PMC is a very reliable ammunition , I would not hesitate to use if for self defense. It shot well and now that I have shot it and used it all, I`ll need to order more.
BTW , I use PMC in my handgun for home protection and it is as good as it gets and the 5.56x45 is as great . "

MM said:

"I shot about 200 rounds through my brand new SIG716. The very first 3-4 rounds wouldn't feed perfectly, but I attribute this to the brand spanking new equipment. After that, rifle and ammo performed flawlessly. Not a single issue with feeding, cycling, firing, etc. At 150 yards, I had all shots within about 2-3 inches using a cheap scope and no rest.
Great product and especially GREAT SERVICE!
Thank you guys!!!"

D said:

"Great customer service, placed the order last friday fully expecting not to get the order with all that is going on, you won't find a better company to deal with, as for the Ammo, top notch perfect for my use."

CowwFace said:

"I got this for taking to the range, went through about 100 rounds and zero duds. works perfectly in 2 AR's. We were using Red-Dot scopes, and hit what we were aiming at about 100 yrds away. I would highly recommend this ammo."

"As good as Federal and a lot less expensive.......Federal is supposed to be the Cadilac of ammo.....well, PMC is equal if not as good or even better.....I am a user from now on."

BonzoDRmc said:

"was my first purchase here, but WILL NOT be my last. great ammo and a even greater price. this seller is highly recomended. the ammo is top notch ammo. shoots clean and very acurate. like i said i WILL be getting more !!!"

Dave said:

"Exellent value very clean shooting ammo... best choice for the money."

"The ammo itself LOOKS beautiful compared to Lake City penetrators but I have not shot it yet so I can't comment on that. I paid more per round, but that is just the market, not Ammo.com."

Bigthiss said:

"Great ammunition for the price. I used to buy the federal loose bulk ammo in 500 and 1000 but there were always at least 10-20 that were either faulty loads or misfired. This ammo is hands down the best for the price that I have purchased and shot. Highly recommend!! "

"This ammo would have gotten better quality rating but there was a lot of unburned residue left in the action of my firearm. I was shooting a Desert Eagle and although the ammo burned "dirty" this never effected accuracy or function of my firearm. It did function without interruption and was surprisingly accurate for the price."

3ddi3myboy said:

"Good prices and delivery; that is all I ask. Many thanks!"

Jersy said:

"A quality product at a really good price. You can not go wrong with this this selection."

"This is an exceptionally affordable ammunition and is my go-to choice for my bi-monthly training sessions at the range. I do manage, however, to experience "hang-fire" on perhaps 10% of the rounds fired. Bit of a nuisance, of course, but I simply count to three and it without fail fires successfully on the second try. In all fairness, I should mention I am firing the Seecamp .32 pistol, which was designed specifically around the Winchester "Silvertip" 60-grain JHP round, which fire flawlessly with never an incidence of hang-fire. As these are difficult to locate, and are fairly expensive, at generally 92 cents per round, I typically reserve the Winchester rounds for my daily concealed-carry and train with the highly affordable PMC ammunition."

"Ordered from ammo net dec 30th arrived in one day superior service an delivery great buy an great ammo for bulk pricing"

JP said:

"Bought a case and 2 days later it was delivered. Was disappointed in the shot group from a M1A1, however was pleased when shooting it from an H&K 91. Shot a total of 60 rounds with out any issues of cycling or misfires. As for carbon residue, nothing out of the ordinary. Will order another case for my H&K to kill more golf balls at 100 yards."

Shoot at least twice a month.My Sig 1911enjoys this ammo. And my recently acquired used H-K USP 45c likes it better than Winchester
